Default Took my Mustang in for the Recall

It was a beautiful day so I decided to drive to the dealership to have the recall done on the passenger side airbag. It only took 25 minutes. When I drove in, I saw three other Mustangs sitting in the drive through garage, probably for the same reason. I told the service manager to make sure they take car of my car and I want it back with no scratches. She said I was the third Mustang owner who requested that today. She said it must be something about Mustang owners. I told her,we are a proud family and we take pride in our cars.
It was kind of weird but cool at the same time watching the porter drive my car around to the shop. This dealership has a glass window in one of the waiting areas where you can watch your car being worked on or you can stroll down the hallway to another waiting area with vending machines called appropriately, "Mustang Annie's." When you walk in, there is a '66 front grill hanging over the door way with pictures and paintings of Mustangs all over the wall. The dealership is located on.....Mustang Trail. There is a local Mustang club that meets there once a month too. So, I don't mind driving 25 miles and passing three other dealerships to get there. They treat me and my car just right!

Do you have a CAI/Tune and did you take it off before taking it in?

No I don't have a CAI/Tune yet.
From what I have read, it shouldn't matter because they replace the RCM module and not the PCM, but I would ask around first.

It was announced in the newspaper recently that Ford has a recall on their Mustangs for an airbag adjustment.

If you have a dealership like that your name should be "LUCKY DOG" Sounds cool like to take mine there.
